SAFETY FIRST
When the supplemental side airbag is acti­
vated, it breaks through a seam on the side
of the seatback identified by the AIR BAG la­
bel. It inflates between the side trim panel
and the passenger within the blink of an eye
at very high speed and with great force. The
supplemental side airbag could injure you if
your seating position is not proper or upright
or if items are located in the area where the
supplemental side airbag inflates. This ap­
plies especially to children. See also "Child
Safety". on page
44.

balta are worn properly,
- a child must never rest his/her
head against the side trim panel
in the area where the supple­
mental aide airbag inflates. An

ous or fatal injury.
